I've been receiving requests from the newest networking program. I've given up fighting and just joined in.
So what's special about this new networking site? Well, in contrast to LinkedIn there are special features that are more applicable to academics in general. For example you can add papers and awards to your profile. And unlike Facebook's SciBook, SciLink is a true science networking tool. It also comes with a cool scientific genealogy application. (Evil Gomez - someone has finally implemented your idea!) There are some patches that the developers need to iron out, but overall it looks like the best science networking site that I know of. Go sign up now (and feel free to invite me to your network, but let me know if you really know me or just know my blog.)

Alex,
Thanks so much for the Kudos! We're working very hard to differentiate ourselves from the rest of the crowd and are very glad you like our platform. Expect many bug fixes and enhancements over the summer months. Also, please send us feedback so we can keep innovating and making the site better and more usable for people like yourself.
Sincerest Regards,
Brian Gilman
